| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In February 2020, the County of Yolo (“County”) Health and Human Services Agency (“HHSA”) applied for Community Services Infrastructure Grant ("CSIG") Program funding through the California Health Facilities Financing Authority (“CHFFA”) in the amount of $1,622,250 to develop the Ellen’s House Project (“Project”). These funds will be used to implement Ellen's House, which will provide on-site residential substance use treatment services to the target population of justice-involved individuals who have a substance abuse disorder, or co-occurring disorder, and are participating in some form of diversion program.
In April 2020, HHSA received a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) from CHFFA approving a grant award (“Grant”) in the amount of $1,622,250 for the period of March 25, 2020 through June 30, 2022. The Grant would require the Project to be considered operational by March 26, 2021.
Given the target population this Grant will serve, Ellen’s House will help fill multiple gaps identified through Yolo County’s Sequential Intercept Mapping process, including two priority gaps identified: Increased housing opportunities for those with behavioral health needs, and increased connection to services. |
